Bill Summary

This bill allows a winery that produces more than 250,000 gallons to directly ship certain reserve wines to consumers. Under current law, small plenary wineries that produce 250,000 gallons or less per year and farm wineries are permitted to directly ship wine to New Jersey residents and consumers residing in other states. In addition, out-of-State wineries that produce that annually produce 250,000 gallons or less may obtain a license to directly ship wine to New Jersey residents. Wineries that produce more than the 250,000 gallon capacity cap are prohibited from directly shipping wine. This bill allows the holder of a plenary winery license or an out-of-State winery that exceed the 250,000 gallon capacity cap to directly ship up to 12 cases of reserve wine to any person over the age of 21. The bill defines reserve wine as wine that is not sold or distributed through wholesalers and retailers operating in this State. The bill establishes a $1,500 fee for this license.

AI Summary

This bill allows a winery that produces more than 250,000 gallons per year to directly ship up to 12 cases of "reserve wine" (wine not sold or distributed through wholesalers and retailers) to consumers per year. Under current law, only small wineries producing 250,000 gallons or less per year are permitted to directly ship wine to consumers. The bill creates a new "reserve wine shipping license" with a $1,500 fee for wineries exceeding the 250,000 gallon production cap to obtain this privilege.
